Trade-Generic Equivalents List

This list of TRADE-GENERIC EQUIVALENTS must be memorized as a requirement for the Pharmacy Technology program.
This list is introduced in the PHAR 048 class and will be used as a reference throughout the entire program.
A random selection of these equivalents will be tested on the final exams for most Pharmacy Technology courses.
At the beginning of the externship course (PHAR 072), you will be required to demonstrate your knowledge of these equivalents on a matching test. This test will be given during the mandatory orientation meeting for new externs at the beginning of each semester.
To be placed for externship, you must score at least 95% on this matching test. If you do not achieve a minimum score of 95%, you may repeat the test at times scheduled throughout that semester. (Check the Pharmacy Technology classroom for dates and times for repeat tests.) You will be placed for externship only after this requirement has been met.

NOTE: Scores from tests taken before you start the PHAR 072 course will not be accepted for the externship prerequisite.

Students will be required to learn additional trade-generic equivalents for the PHAR 051, PHAR 052, and PHAR 060 classes. You will not be tested on these additional trade-generic equivalents on the PHAR 072 matching test.

NOTE: Occasional revisions will be made in this list to include new drugs and delete older drugs. Please make sure that you have the most current copy of the list at the beginning of externship. The PHAR 072 matching test will be based on the most current version of this list.

Copies of the most current TRADE-GENERIC EQUIVALENTS list will be made available in the Pharmacy Technology Lab classroom on the Santa Ana College campus.
